I just have to celebrate a bit...
On April 11, I weighed in at a whopping 226 pounds! I was 4 days past due, but I was measuring 5 WEEKS past due! lol
Anyway, on the 12th, they started the induction and it continued a second day seeing as baby girl didn't want to drop down into the birth canal. At 12:33 pm on the 13th, I delivered via c-section. Amber weighed in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces and measured at 21" long!
I waited until the swelling went away before I weighed myself (two weeks later) and gingerly stepped on the scale expecting the worst (still in the 200s)...only to see 186 on the scale.
That is a weight loss of 40 pounds in two weeks! I gained 60 pounds total, so I was only 20 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.
I weighed myself yesterday and found I'd lost another 8 pounds.
So my total weight loss is 48 pounds in 4 weeks, and I'm 12 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.
I'm not BFing or exercising. I'm drinking plenty of water, watching what I'm eating and recently signed up for Weight Watchers online. My first goal is my pre-pregnancy weight, but my ultimate goal is to get back down to 140 pounds (which is about a size 10 or large size 8 for my body type).
I am so excited to lose the weight and can't wait until I get the all-clear to exercise and try to tone my abs a bit to get rid of the jiggly belly, lol.
